How to Design a Hummingbird-Friendly Landscape

Choose native plants like bee balm and trumpet vine to attract hummingbirds. Provide water sources like birdbaths and fountains. Avoid pesticides to create a safe environment.

Plant flowers in clusters to catch hummingbirds' attention. Include a variety of colors to attract them. Create sheltered spots with trees and shrubs for resting and nesting.

Install hummingbird feeders with a sugar-water solution. Keep them clean and change the nectar regularly. Place feeders in visible but safe locations away from predators.

Design your landscape with different blooming seasons to provide nectar all year round. Include a mix of perennials and annuals for continuous food sources for hummingbirds.

Avoid using chemical fertilizers that can harm hummingbirds. Opt for organic fertilizers or compost instead. Maintain a healthy garden by mulching and proper watering practices.

Create a hummingbird-friendly landscape by incorporating these design tips. Enjoy the beauty and charm of hummingbirds in your garden throughout the seasons.
